MM pickup number & positioning choices

[Twigman]

I have been well and truly bitten by the bass building bug....

My last project was a Status jazz necked Warmoth DinkyP which some of you might have seen at the recent SE bass bash:


My current project is a lined fretless PJ with aguilar pups, babicz bridge converting my green PJ which I put together back in 2011.

Anyway I fancy making a new bass with MM pickups just for a change.
Primarily coz they look good - not for the sound they make...

So I'm looking to order another DinkyP body - I do like the ergonomics and light weight of these.

I can't decide between a pair of MM pups (1 bridge and 1 neck) or a single in either the neck or bridge or the sweet spot (somewhere inbetween).....

Am undecided whether to leave it passive or active and if I go active which pre-amp to use.

I will more than likely fit another Status jazz neck as I love playing the one I have.

What do you suggest I do with the electronics (Pups & pre)...and why?

How about one in the MM position, one in the p (sweet spot) and one in the woofer spot?
That would cover a lot of bases, and basses.

I would build one with an MM in the sweet spot and a pair of Jazz pups either side - you should be able to achieve a 70s position for the bridge pickup!
